[Face Up.]

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through all of that. I'd document any marks, bruises, cuts, etc that you get from this woman. Also make a note of when it happened and what was going on at the time. If you are school age you can share this with a teacher or guidance counselor. They will have to report it, but that way you can get away from this woman.

It's wonderful that you found a family member that will take you though and I think you should get in touch with this family member as soon as possible to initiate the process of going to live with them. Explain what is going on and that you want a safe place to stay to get away from everything that has happened. I really hope this family member is able to help and support you through this difficult time.
